I recently purchased this camera from SecurityKing: 12X 2 Megapixel Outdoor IP Network PTZ
I'm trying to set the camera up to work with SebecTec IPTimelapse Webcam software.
In order to read from the IP cam, I need to locate the http command to capture a single JPEG image snapshot for the camera.
They gave examples like this:
Axis - http://IPADDRESS:PORT/axis-cgi...../image.cgi
Sharx - http://IPADDRESS:PORT/snapshot.jpg
What would be the http command for this Security King camera?
Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!

For snapshots try the following.

When I try that...I get: <faultstring>HTTP GET method not implemented</faultstring>
Any other ideas?
I also can't get the camera to FTP snapshots according to the recording schedule I've set up.
So...right now, I don't have a way to get jpgs from the cam to my website.
Any other ideas?

What exactly are you trying to achieve?
Implement Snapshots onto a webpage?

Basically, I'm trying to use the camera as a weather cam, posting a snapshot to a website. Ideally, I would go further, and have the ability to have a loop (timelapse) to show the weather over a period of time. There's some software at http://www.sebectec.com/ipcam/ that I've been playing with. But really, I just need to be able to either send a command to the camera to take a shot...or I need it to record shots to my FTP site, which it's also not working. I've set my FTP up in the storage/destination settings....and set the schedule to run all the time. Then, I turned on recording...still nothing being uploaded. Also...can't get the camera to take a snapshot on command...as I get the aforementioned <faultstring> error.
Any ideas for what I'm trying to do?

You will need a software such as file zilla to handle the FTP transfer. As for getting the snap shots onto your website we have not thwe ability to to do that. Using the RTSP stream works but that is a live video feed.

I just tested the software and i used the Link
You would be using the Onvif port 9988.
I havent played with the software but it seems to create a folder in the Pictures Folder in my PC with the images as you would set them in my case it was taking images every 30 seconds.
Let me know how you are thinking of adding this to a webpage. I might have an idea of how to implement it.
You can also refer to the cameras internal settings as Daniel points out in the link.

Do you think maybe I need to update the firmware on the camera or something? The only other problem would be with the port forwarding...which seems to be working fine. I have a public static IP...and have set the router to forward the 9988 port. You can see the login screen by visiting XXXXXXXXXXX
I'm still getting the below error.
I'll check out the FTP info link. I think if I can just get the images to my site...there are some simple scripts out there to load the most recent ones on a page.

Could you run me through what settings you are using on the IPTimelapse Software?
Also do not post your IP address or any credentials to your surveillance equipment. PM these.

Jose: I haven't messed with the settings in the software yet. The guy from the software company told me I needed to work with the manufacturer to get a command that would work in my browser before trying to use the software.

Daniel: I had already setup the FTP per the instructions at your link...but it's not sending any photos to the FTP site. I had tested to make sure all the credentials were correct by uploading something via my ftp program (I use cyber duck...similar to filezilla).

Jose: Thanks for following up. You guys have been great in responding to figuring out this issue.
I did have the address right. I was thinking maybe this was a port forwarding issue, since I've been going through a public IP. But now I went over to the network the camera is on and used the 192.168.1.108 address and that's getting me the same error. I don't see the onvif port configured anywhere in the settings for the camera. Is there somewhere in the camera settings I need to designate that port?

Jose: I did finally get the FTP storage working...but it puts the photos in such a crazy nested set of folders that it won't be at all useful for what I'm trying to do. Writing a script to mine that crazy folder structure is beyond my skill set for sure.

I should add...for the benefit of others, that the FTP won't work off the camera using a traditional ftp address....like "ftp.myserver.com." Instead, you have to use a specific IP address.

Try the following:
I am creating an article. Once i am finished i will send you a link here.
I also managed to recreate the error you where encountering.
SOLUTION:
If you have the current Firmware you need to use the following URL for the snapshots
http://192.168.1.82:9989/onvif.....;subtype=0
subtype=
0 for Main Stream
1 for Extra Stream
<img alt="" src="camera1.jpg" width="800" height="450" border="1" name="refresh" ></a>
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
var t = 60 // interval in seconds
image = "camera1.jpg" //name of the image
function Start() {
var tester=new Image(image);
tester.onload
{
tmp = new Date();
tmp = "?"+tmp.getTime()
document.images["refresh"].src = image+tmp
}
setTimeout("Start()", t*1000)
}
Start();
</script>

Jose: How do I know if I have the most up-to-date firmware...and if not, where do I get the file to update it?
This is the Version info currently displayed in the software on the camera:
- Software Version
- 2.210.0000.3.R, build : 2013-09-22
- WEB Version
- 3.2.1.139134
- PTZ Version
- V1.03.20.RHNJE

Old firmware Snapshot is :
http://192.168.1.82:9988/onvif.....e/snapshot
http://192.168.1.82:9988/onvif.....;subtype=0
New firmware is :
http://192.168.1.82:9989/onvif.....e/snapshot
http://192.168.1.82:9989/onvif.....;subtype=0
subtype=
0 for Main Stream
1 for Extra Stream
It is hard to determine what firmware requires what. What i have found is when you get the xml error while using the old url address then add the "?channel=1&subtype=0" to the url address make sure to erase your browsers cache as well.
